Used Jeeps and Jeep Parts For Sale - 1944 World War II Ford GPW Jeep




1944 World War II Ford GPW Jeep

This Jeep has undergone a complete professional frame up restoration. This has just been done. It wasn't in bad shape--no rust, fully equipped, but I wanted an exceptional Jeep which would be easy to drive with slack free steering, very dependable and a great looking piece of American history. Some call the WWII Jeep "America's first sports car."

Highlights of the restoration

--- professional complete engine rebuild

--- rebuilt transmission, transfer case, clutch, differential, radiator, 12 volt electronics, steering box

--- new brakes, fuel pump, muffler and exhaust, fuel tank, gages, canvas top, windshield wipers, weather stripping horn, upholstery, and 5 new combat tires.

Provenance

During World War II this Jeep was assigned to a two star general and slated to go to England. Orders were changed and both general and Jeep went to Colorado Springs where the Jeep was used to pull aircraft out of Army Air Corps hangers. After the war it was sold to a private person, who drove it for pleasure and also leased occasionally to several Hollywood motion picture studios where it was filmed in a number of war movies. The drivers seat was lengthened slightly to accommodate actors such as Ernest Borgnine and Dan Duryae. I bought the Jeep two years ago and have used it restored for short stints around town and to the Virginia Beach Antique Military Aviation Museum where I am a docent.
